Web 2.0: Helping Reinvent Education : January 2008 : THE Journal - 0 views

  • "Thinking is now distributed," he said, "across minds, tools and media, groups of people, and space and time." It is important, he shared, for people to be fluent in new technologies and literacies because more and more jobs are disappearing that require classical knowledge.
  • Web 2.0, Dede noted, is "centered around Web-based communities, where the central theme is to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing."

Innovation Predictions 2008 - 0 views

  • The demand for innovation is soaring in the business community and is just beginning to gain traction in the political sphere.
